Hello everyone,
I briefly talked about my program in my intro thread, but i'll recap it again.
I am writing a java program that plays the Millionaire shuffle format. It is fully text based ie. no graphics, but it does play the game correctly and all the rules are programmed in. Eventually I plan to add some sounds in it, though i'm still working on it. Currently there are 608 questions in the game (and counting!). 400 for Round 1 and 88/50/37/33 for Round 2. I wrote these myself using various sources, so they are not just pillaged off old WWTBAM shows.
I call the game Hyper Millionaire because my questions are likely harder than what you currently see on the show, though with some of the episodes this year I'm starting to wonder.
Not sure if anyone else does this, but I would be able to host live events with this where forum members can be the contestants and see the screen live.
If anyone is interested in this please reply here and we will see if we can set up a time for everyone to come and play some Millionaire!

Hmmm...sounds like fun...I would like to see the program up and running! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN975pOIipMThere's a sample of me playing 1 game. The delays between outputs are programmed, and the input box where i'm putting in answers or asking for lifelines is off screen. If I were to host a live game, you'd all see that same screen in real time with whatever is on mine.

Seems kinda bland rite now...if you could make the outputs hidden and replace it with some graphics or something, that would be handy...but a word-based Millionaire game takes me back to the times of Zork...it's just not as fun as it sounds...don't get me wrong it looks great so far.

I've added another 120 questions and added some commentary to the start.
My test runs have shown that the question difficulty is significant, no one has even made round 2 yet.

Here is episode 1 of Hyper Millionaire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xr31ltSVUYThis is actual people playing this game and not me, i simply recorded it and worked the controls. It's advanced quite a bit since my initial video as you may notice. I'll continue to get more contestants and post more videos, if you'd like to be a contestant let me know.

Closing in on 1000 questions now. I'll be taping episode 2 next week and I still need a couple contestants. If you want to play either post here or PM me and let me know when you can play.
